Starting with a mallet percussion ostinato, this contemporary ballad for developing bands would also work well as a reflective selection for more advanced ensembles or as a contrasting selection in concert or contest.  Written to represent thoughts, feelings and emotions during one’s life, the composition is based on the Lydian mode, which naturally gives a sense of positivity, hopefulness, inspiration, and heavenly colors.  Use this to introduce the study of modes, develop lyrical playing skills and as inspiration for all performers and listeners.
